Basics of working of Email:
Email stands for Electronic Mail. Email sending and receiving is controlled by the Email servers.Email service providers configure Email Server before anyone can Sign into his or her account and start communicating digitally.Users from across the world register in to these Email servers and setup an Email account.
Methods of Sending Fake/spoofed Email:
1. Using Open Relay servers :
An open relay server is that which allows people to send email by connecting to it. User connect to it via telnet and instructs server to send email. This method is outdated or simply I should say that, it doesn't work. I would not talk about it more.
2. Using Websites :
There are numberless websites that provide free service to send fake emails. But the problem is that they attach the advertisments along with your email. But the best two, I have found that do not attach the advertisments.

3. Using mail sending scripts :
The PHP contains mail sending function which allows us to send email with fake headers.
Download a php script from here
We just need to upload the mail sending script on a web hosting site. It doesn't work on every webshosting site because there is no email sending support. I have tested x10hosting.com (could take upto a day for account activation) , it works perfect. Some of the other are http://www.000webhost.com,byethehost5.com

How to identify whether an email is real or spoofed ?
It can be done by checking headers. Email headers is simply the text which contains the information about the mail servers that the email encountered in its path from the sender to receiver. It contains a lot of other information too.
We can view email headers in gmail by clicking at 'show orignal', in yahoo by clicking at 'Full headers' and such kinds of options in other email service providers.
